Washington (CNN)—Donald Trump came under fire Thursday night for his handling of a question at a town hall about when the U.S. can "get rid" of Muslims, for failing to take issue with that premise and an assertion that President Barack Obama is Muslim.
"We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims," an unidentified man who spoke at a question-and-answer town hall event in Rochester, New Hampshire asked the mogul. "You know our current president is one. You know he's not even an American."
A seemingly bewildered Trump interrupted the man, chuckling, "We need this question. This is the first question."
"Anyway, we have training camps growing where they want to kill us," the man, wearing a "Trump" T-shirt, continued. "That's my question: When can we get rid of them?"

The media is shameful. Hitler and Stalin would have been thrilled with a media this compliant to propaganda.
Kinda hard to run from the truth.
Muslim kid makes a clock — WITH NO DISPLAY — that looks just like a bomb, and Obama backs him.
Obama constantly throws Israel under the bus.
Obama unilaterally makes a deal (without Congress) that helps Iran get a nuclear weapon.
Obama imports as many muslims as he can into America.
Obama changes the focus of many agencies — even NASA — to muslim outreach.
I like to ask this: If Obama actually WAS a declared Muslim, just what would he be doing differently?
The guy sounded completely staged.
And where were the democrats protecting Bush when he was bad mouthed?
However, since Obama calls the Muslim prayer call the most beautiful sound, holds Muslim prayer events and honors their holidays.... is that not reasonable suspicion?
“Trump has already demonstrated he’s better at manipulating media than media is at manipulating him.”
This is most of the issue here. The msm has not been able to manipulate Trump. They keep on trying and trying and Trump keeps calling them on their lies and distortions. A perfect case is point was Trumps interview last month with Anderson Cooper when Cooper pulled out a false poll and started asking questions to Trump assuming the false poll was correct. Trump responded by saying that this is why the people no longer trust the media, and Cooper and the msm are liars. Coopers face went white, and you could tell he was absolutely caught in a blatant distortion and lie, and he was caught on camera, his own camera and show.
The media is generally liars. And they are looking for anything to get Trump. And at this point, most people know this and all the media attacks just make Trump stronger.
So, you buy the meme that the b/c is legit? Seriously.

Good points. You could probably add a lot more.
What about appointing Brennan, a Muslim convert, to be CIA director.
What about the Muslim training camps in the USA.
His friendship with Louis Farrakhan.
Valerie Jarret, his Senior WhiteHouse Advisor, is a Muslim.
The press keeps defending Obama.
I’m not sure if he was born in Kenya or not, but I’m sure he is hiding something in his original birth certificate. Maybe the fact that he was adopted by his Muslim Indonesian step-father. Or maybe it says father unknown or maybe it says the father was Communist pedophile Frank Marshall Davis, a friend of his mother and grandparents. Whatever it is, he doesn’t want it to surface.
The guy is absolutely 100% a Muslim. His father was Muslim, his step father was Muslim, he attended a Muslim school as a kid, his mother chose to retain his Islamic name. Just because he lived with his grandparents a few years and they took him to a church a few times does not make him a Christian nor does attending a church later on for political purposes make him a Christian. If he’s Christian my name is Santa Claus. His very first day in office he tried to free Islamic terrorists from Gitmo, when he couldn’t get that he issued an executive order to close it, this was IMMEDIATELY when he took office, his #1 priority was to his Muslim bros, how much more evidence do people require? Look at this, it’s right on the White House website, look at the date on the bottom... This was his #1 priority above EVERYTHING else!

Very true.
That and the “All that for a flag” comment.
Rush has been talking about this exchange for a while now. He’s saying the same thing we are on this thread.
Rush is still talking about it. Rush asks What’s so bad about being a Muslim??? Why should this bother the media so much?
There was nothing to challenge. Its not Trump’s job to defend Barack Obama.
Yes, yes they do. Resist they much. /Al Sharpton
Now, I’ve seen movies with trolls.
They can speak English.
CNN never attacks Obama for calling Republicans terrorists.
>> Trump didn’t say he didn’t hear the question. His campaign manager said that <<
OK. If the campaign manager doesn’t speak correctly for the candidate, then the candidate needs to fire the campaign manager. So if Donald allows the CM stay on the job, I guess it means either:
1. that the CM was speaking accurately, or
2. that Trump’s “you’re fired” shtick is as phony as a three-dollar bill.
Why is this on the sidebar?
The Media may have vetted Obama just enough to realize that he was not eligible to be POTUS and that the American public would not vote for a lying communist muslim who was given a free ride through our educational system as a foreign national. At that point, all "vetting" would be shut down and all guns and attention turned on destroying Sarah Palin.
Just a thought.
If you were born and raised into a Jewish family would you be considered a Christian first. No.
If you were born and raised in a Christian family, would you claim that your early training in a Christian religious school turned you into a Buddhist? No, that’s laughable.
If your early life was spent in the largest Muslim country in the world and your parents were practicing Muslims, would anyone expect a child living in that family situation and culture to claim to have been a Christian at that period of his life? NO.
It’s normal for anyone to profess the faith of their parents as Obama surely did when he went to the Muslim school in Jakarta Indonesia and was registered as a Muslim.
All of the questions above lead us to the logical conclusion that Obama WAS a Muslim as a child. There is nothing wrong with that as many people on this site will agree that there are many fine faithful Muslims whose modernized and adapted beliefs do not marginalize them in the modern world.
Now he claims to be a Christian, apparently one who converted from Islam to Christianity at some unidentified point in his life. It may have been a formal conversion or a conversion for convenience when living in a Christian country. It’s clear he doesn’t want to discuss it and that is his privilege in America.
I believe Sharia law even provides for that so that Muslims living in a community where they are the minority do not get persecuted or forced to pay a tax for practicing their faith as ‘infidels’ of all other religions have to do in Muslim countries.
